Polish Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak‑Kamysz said the Ukrainian decision to name an army unit after Stepan Bandera was an unfriendly act that wounded the hearts of Poles.

The minister’s comments come amid ongoing tensions over historical memory between the two countries, though no further diplomatic action has been announced.
